Is it better to drive to Tibet or rent a car?

Traveling in Sichuan and Tibet is very hard. Abnormal climate and bad road conditions challenge your physical strength from time to time. If you drive by car, you should have driving experience in mountainous areas. If you can't change the tire, you'd better take the driver to rent a car!

Sichuan-Tibet tourism can be divided into off-season and peak season, and the price in off-season will be cheaper than that in peak season. July and August, as well as March and April, are all tourist seasons. Some car rental services do not include oil, but oil in Tibet is more expensive, so it is best to cover it all.

If you think the cost is high, you can choose the carpooling service on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The cost of carpooling generated in the whole process will be shared equally by all riders, and the price is much cheaper. Of course, you can also find someone to rent a car together, and it is also a good choice to share the rental expenses.

Most gas stations on this line can only provide 93 # gasoline. Poor road conditions can also easily lead to car breakdown (most friends who go to Sichuan-Tibet line are inexperienced, so they must check the car before each departure).

Choose a good model. The complex road conditions of Sichuan-Tibet-Yunnan-Guizhou railway require very high vehicle suspension system, braking system and engine. Toyota's overbearing chassis has girders, and the high off-road performance configuration is enough for this position. Toyota's overbearing possession is large. In case of failure, it is easier to find accessories.

For the convenience of customers, most car rental companies in Chengdu provide car return services in Lhasa, Xining and Lijiang. However, when it is necessary to return the car in a different place, a certain fee will be charged for returning the car in a different place and returning it to the air. The standards of each company are different, but the prices are not much different. For example, the cost of returning from Lhasa to other places is 5600, including air tickets, accommodation, catering and fuel costs. Then the rent for four days can be calculated according to the fastest four-day trip back to Chengdu.
